"MISS GUCCI" WANTS TO OUTPACE EVERYONE

Her nickname doesn’t perturb her. She got that from her team colleagues. - as "Miss Gucci" is pretty confident when it comes to fashion questions. And as a trainer once wittily remarked she shouldn’t ski as if she’s carrying a handbag. She didn’t do that when she needed to in the Ski World Championships in 2017 when the girl from Tyrol took Silver in the downhill. However she did reward herself with a handbag, from Prada. By the way the medal didn’t just fall out of the sky, she achieved her two World Cup podium places just before and after that. Last winter the 24 year old sister of Atomic’s hope for the future Bianca (21), caught up with five Top 10 places, but in the Olympic downhill she risked too much. True to her motto: “Only those who dare can achieve anything.” And if that's true, then you can be confident for the 2018/19 season. “Miss Gucci” has started preparing with a few bungee jumps.
